I do, and here's why. Americans care a lot about their celebrities, I mean a WHOLE LOT. So when a celebrity gets caught smoking marijuana, which is what this most likely was, and comes out and apologies for making such a bad mistake and blah blah blah....well Americans continue on thinking pot is bad.
But as more celebrities get busted, and it becomes obvious that Marijuana is not having a gross negative impact on their lives, the celebrity worshipers will start to think, "Hey, maybe pot isn't as bad as D.A.R.E. told me it was." As it becomes more accepted more celebrities are going to start owning up and stop apologizing for it. Maybe one day someone as respected as Michael Phelps will say, "Yea, I smoke pot...and I'm still one of the top athletes ever to walk on planet earth...so it must not be that bad." And people will listen to him, because he's a celebrity. (Or was for that one summer, ) Parents, teachers, politicians, police officers, firefighters and the like don't have much of an affect as role models for American children and adults.....but celebrities sure do..

Its not about votes, its about public perception. If you can begin to unravel the 70 years of financially driven anti-MJ propaganda and shift public perception then the votes and legislation will happen. That shift in mentality/perception has not happened yet, but the ball appears to be rolling.

Thats the point, she has much easier access to a lot of the "recreational" stuff that your average 18 yr old may not be able to afford.
But if it bumps the kardashians off the front page for a while I guess its not a bad thing |
